Famous names in design patterns

I've been looking up some of the references in the Jeon et al article mentioned in the last post (An Automated Refactoring Approach to Design Pattern-Based Program Transformations in Java Programs). They are almost all not relevant to this dissertation but brought back to me that I need to accumulate a list of 'names in the business'.

Some famous names:

Gang of Four: Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides
William F. Opdyke
Martin Fowler

Also, I have now finally purchased "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" by Martin Fowler et al. I was putting it off while trying to finish the other books I've already bought but this is a seminal work so I can't put it off any longer as it may prove to be a useful catalyst.
